Good condition

After just moving from winter golf Darwen Golf Club was in lovely condition. After the harsh winter the only slight problem was the green being different speeds. Some were quicker than others but all the greens were true, even and in good condition and am sure they will be fast and true in the next few weeks.

The rest of the course was excellent. Well done to the green keepers.

Cracker

Darwen is a cracking course, its undulations & slopes make it a real test of golf.
There are holes where you can open the shoulders, but equally there are clever holes like the 4th, 5th & 6th where driver may not be the best choice.
The par 3 16th is a stunner.
The greens are in superb condition, the members & the pro all friendly.
Top this off with great views of Darwen Tower & the surrounding area, what's not to like.

Stunning

Stunning course, stunning condition with stunning scenery.
What a fantastic course, up, down & along the side of Winter Hill, there's never a flat lie. Not a course to walk if you're not 100% fit, but we'll worth a visit.
The course is in great condition, particularly the greens, superb.
The pro in the shop was great & all the locals very friendly.
Go play it, there's not a bad hole on the course & if your golf's poor, you can just enjoy the scenery.

Front 9 park land & back 9 heath land ! Very Hilly & tends to roll to the left (but always towards the tower !). You need to shoot a good front 9 to come off with a decent score because it gets harder & hillier & windier round the back 9. Great fun & generally very friendly !

Very Hilly course but some stunning views. Hole 15 is a very tough, uphill par 4, put the postage stamp par 3 16 after it is a really nice little hole. Clubhouse is great

The ground person should be congratulated on the quality of the course these are the best greens I've played on this years.
These will only be better come the summer months it will be one hell of a challenge on dry greens.
Fairways just as good as the greens.
We never used the facilities hence no score and reflect any other reason than that course 12 out of 10.

Nice course worth playing

Second time playing Darwen, this time in one of their open events. Friendly welcome in clubhouse & pro shop. Small putting green outside clubhouse. Course in good condition, greens a little slow but it is open to elements so would be very tricky if greens were quicker. Good variety of holes, nice par 3s especially 16th "postage stamp" where you could hit anything from 9 iron to rescue depending on wind direction/speed. Not for faint hearted as a few hills to negotiate but worth it for the views.
